Maggie-Colin Hay

When I first set eyes on you First you beat me up Then you kissed me too We'd throw stones into the sea There were no others there Just you and me Across the bridge And down the lane I knew I loved you then You said you did the same Oh MaggieWhat have you done? I should have seen it coming And to your side I'd runOh MaggieCome to me tonight I will wait up for you Make sure you're alright I miss you You taught me how to sink or swim When I was scared that day You just pushed me in And when nobody was around You let me kiss you then And there the love I foundI said, I'd never let you go You just smiled at me How was I to know Oh MaggieWhat am I to do?How can I live with only memories of you? Oh MaggieTell me the truth When your ship was sinking Did you think it through? I miss you You were the fountain of my youth And when I fumbled You showed me what to do And when we were both 17 You left me standing there But you were never mean And when I saw you out with him He looked much older And you looked very thin I hadn't heard from you in years And then your mama called She couldn't speak for tears She said you left me a note Inside my pocket burns With these words you wrote Hey, darlin' boy Don't you cry for me I am forever yours Now that I am free We'll be together Throw stones into the sea There'll be no others there Just you and me I miss you Maggie's gone I think you came the other night You stroked my brow Your eyes were full of light It may have only been a dream When I will walk with you To places I never have been Maggie's gone
